Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ecm.
Monitor description
The park/neutral position switch detects the gearshift position and sends a signal to the ecm.
For security, the park/neutral position switch detects the gearshift position so that engine can be started only when the vehicle is in p or n shift position.
When the park/neutral position switch sends more than one signal at a time from switch positions p, r, n, 2, or l the ecm interprets this as a fault in the switch. The ecm will turn on the mil.

Inspection procedure
1 Check p squib circuit(airbag sensor assy center – instrument
panel passenger airbag assy)
Disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery,
and wait at least for 90 seconds.
disconnect the connectors between the airbag sensor
assy center and the instrument panel ...
On–vehicle inspection
1. Inspect refrigerant pressure with manifold gauge set
this is a method in witch the trouble is located by using
a manifold gauge set. Read the manifold gauge pressure
when the these conditions are established.
Test conditions:
temperature at the air inlet with the switch set
